Congratulations, Joel!
The 10th Annual P50/P30 Retreat was held on Friday, September 6, 2024 at the University of California San Diego.
Thank you to all who attended in person and remotely! We hope you found the talks and discussions informative and made connections with new HS rats/GWAS colleagues.
Presenters, talk recordings, and photos are available on the P50/P30 Center website. (ratgenes.org)
